A suspicious wife bludgeoned her husband to death after she suspected he had been cheating on her.

Georgina Challen, known as Sally, launched a "frenzied" attack on retired businessman Richard, 61, as he ate lunch at the kitchen table of their former marital home in Claygate, Surrey.

The couple had been attempting to patch up their marriage after separating and living apart but Challen became enraged after discovering the former car dealer had phoned another woman.

She told how she kept a diary in which she detailed all his movements as their marriage fell apart.

She attempted to note down when Richard's Viagra tablets appeared to have been used, kept records of his receipts and emails and even jotted down how she once followed him to a brothel in the years leading up to the killing.

The vengeful head of an all-female biker gang plotted to kill a love rival disguised in a horrifying "Scream" mask and ghostly robe.

But the plan backfired when Heather Stephenson-Snell's intended victim - her old lover's new girlfriend - refused to open her front door and a neighbour Bob Wilkie stepped outside to deal with the commotion.

The 43-year-old former soldier went to pull off her mask, but she raised the shotgun, balanced on a home-made shoulder sling and hidden under a white sheet covering her body, and shot him dead.

Stevenson-Snell, 46, of York, had advertised for someone to look after her rottweilers on the occasions she was away and one-time male stripper Adrian Sinclair got the job.

They began a short-lived relationship but he ended the affair and moved to Radcliffe where he met Diane Lomax. Hurt and deeply jealous, Stevenson-Snell stalked him for 18-months, and caused misery to the couple.

Snell was jailed for 22 years in September, 2004 for the murder of Bob Wilkie and the attempted murder of Diane.
